What if I use Windows 10?

then it's easier just go to control panel, around the hour and date you have languages and just add the japanese package wait until it's downloaded and activate it in the task bar.

So do I only have to do this once or everytime I try to start the game? Also would I have to go though the trouble to change everything back in Japanese or will everything look to be in english(or whatever language I used previously)?

Cuz in that case that looks like a whole lot of work and I can already say I'v fucked up my PC if I can't find my way back...

I played/read Umineko some years ago while it was still being released and Witch Hunt doing their translation. For me using AppLocale was not enough for installation - it bugged.

I had to do the change the system settings as described above.

After installation I could change the settings back (were annoying/causing troubles with other software so I wanted it back to my main language again).

Playing/reading actually worked with AppLocale.

If you have similar problems you might try the same (if installation is buggy with AppLocale change your settings but later after installation you can try ... playing/reading might work with AppLocale).

New to this, and new to PC's (this is my first laptop/PC). I've only ever played 3 h-games and they were already english patched from the start, so I downloaded applocal but never used it. Please humor me, I know this must be the umpteenth time you've seen this question.

1. From what I read changing ur locale via control panel is something different than using applocal? So, I do one OR the other, right, but not both?

2. It looks like changing ur PC's locale to Japanese is better to do than using just applocal?

3. I'm running Windows 8.1, all info I find (ANYWHERE) is on windows7, vista, and XP. I read on this page (nowhere else, yet) that you NEED to have Japanese language pack installed and these are ONLY available in "Ultimate" and "Home" editions (still a little fuzzy on that). Am I shit out of luck?

Any help would be very appreciated, and if possible please enplane step-by-step as I am very new to everything PC. Thanks in advance.
By the way, friggin' LOVE this site!
